CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENT - The Hong Kong Polytechnic ...

Outstanding Alumni Awards 2012
What do a Project Manager at Link Management Limited, a
Chief Operating Officer of the Construction Workers Registration
Authority, an expert in precast facade engineering, a former
Hall of Famer of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, and a
recent PhD graduate have in common? Apparently more than
meets the eye. Their quest for innovation and excellence has
propelled them to achievements beyond their wildest dreams,
in some cases to the top of their professions. All pioneers in
their own right, they are the recipients of the 2012 Outstanding
Alumni Awards organized by the departments of the Faculty
of Construction and Environment. The most notable is Ir Prof.
Fan Siu Kay, Johnny, who has the distinction of being honoured
by both the Department of Building and Real Estate as well
as the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
Following are brief profiles of him and the other awardees.

Ir Prof. Mok Kwok Woo, Peter (BRE)
As a structural engineering graduate of the Hong Kong Technical
College (now The Hong Kong Polytechnic University) in 1968, Ir
Prof. Mok Kwok Woo, Peter, was awarded a scholarship to study
and work in the United Kingdom, becoming a chartered structural
engineer in 1972 and a member of the British team that designed
Tsing Yi Bridge, Hong Kong's first cross-channel bridge. He then
returned to Hong Kong and worked in the construction industry for
35 years.
In 1997, Prof. Mok was co-founder of the Hong Kong Institute of
Construction Managers and inaugurated a Quality Charter – the
first of its kind amongst professional institutions. From 1998 to
2007, Prof. Mok served as the Chairman of the Building and Civil
Engineering Training Board of the Vocational Training Council;
he was also a member of the Construction Industry Training
Authority and Occupational Safety and Health Council for many
years. Inducted into the HKIE Hall of Fame 2010 by The Hong
Kong Institution of Engineers, he is now an Adjunct Professor in

Polytechnic University.

over 20 years and been its chairman since 2007. In many ways,
Prof. Mok is a champion of good quality – his work now extends
beyond the construction industry to cover a much wider spectrum
benefiting the entire community.
